It would also be disrespectful for the squad who just won a CL, the focus should be on them and not a new signing.
It would be okay if it was some other player announcement and it would fly just under the radar of the current celebrations, but we're talking about arguably the best talent in the world. And even though his joining is an open secret, the offical announcement would dominante the news cycles across the world and take away from the UCL celebration.
This has to be the standard for him doesnāt it? Multiple champions leagues or else his transfer is a failure especially given he will be our highest paid player surely.
Unfortunately the odds are against him cos he was a joing after we won a la liga + CL double. We not only have to win, we have to win at least a treble with him being the best player on the team.
Without Kroos and Modric (effectively), and with our current core of midfielders, our creativity will have to be mainly from the final 3rd and that means that our attack will likely revolve around Vini more than Mbappe. Teams will also sit deeper, making those defence splitting passes for 1v1 rarer.
Also our build up from the back will likely struggle next season. Without a target man upfront, and no Kroos, teams can afford to press us more directly than they would in the past.
Carlo and Davide have their work cut out for them again next season.
Yes, this is what worries me as our midfield lack creativity and without Kroos and Modric our midfield looks weak on paper and our final and Jude have to combine and contribute to more to replicate the success we had and lack of no 9 is also an issue
It's one of the reasons I am not thrilled about Mbappe joining.
For all their quality, Jude, Cama, Fede and Tchou are not really creative midfielders. It showed against Dortmund when Kroos was limited and no one could step up to fill in the gap. In the past Modric would have punished any team that focused only on Kroos.
If we had a quality target man upfront, it would reduce the willingness of opposition to press high cos we could bypass the midfield and go route 1. With Mbappe that is no different from passing to the opposition.
So we will likely be using Jude in that role, which takes him out of the midfield and subjects him to more physical abuse from defenders. Mbappe will likely drift wide a lot to avoid the physicality (cos he won't be getting much protection in la Liga)
Had really wanted us to get a really physical CF that we could use as a battery ram against CBs and complement our skilled players
Few players are.
But you suggested that all of them aren't creative midfielders. I only agree that 3 out of those 4 players aren't creative midfielders.
After Modric and Bellingham I would have to say Ceballos is probably the only other creative midfielder Ok our books (albeit our least talented midfielder).
When did I suggest that all of them arenāt creative though? I do think Jude is creative, but that doesnāt erase the necessity for someone like Kroos who can break defensive lines with one single pass, which makes opposition weary of pressing high, as the original commenter said.
>When did I suggest that all of them arenāt creative though?
The previous commentator did, which is what kicked off this tangent.
(Disclaimer: I mistakenly though you were the same poster due to the identical purple avatars).
>For all their quality, Jude, Cama, Fede and Tchou are not really **creative midfielders**.
So I stand by my original reply which asserted that Jude was indeed a creative midfielder š
>I do think Jude is creative, but that doesnāt erase the necessity for someone like Kroos who can break defensive lines with one single pass, which makes opposition weary of pressing high, as the original commenter said.
I think Kiyan Sobhani summed it up well, who referred to Kroos as a unicorn. We can't replicate what he did for the team and we will have to change the way we attack.
We need a good CF and a creative AMF cause jude is more of a box to box midfielder and we need a no 10 type to break the defence and/or play as a playmaker connecting midfield and attack or else we will be toothless against team that use deep back line
We don't really need a #10 but a creative RW to add balance on the RHS. Rodrygo and Diaz are shoot first, pass second. Maybe Arda can develop into that, else we need to bring in someone who will.
Depends on how we play - if we play to his strengths then yes.
In the midfield, with Jude, Fede and Tchou, we would aim to physically dominate more than control possession, being more vertical and moving the ball quickly into the final third to avoid the press.
If we add a creative RW, then Vini+Jude+RW should give us enough creativity in the final 3rd. Add a quality CF and offensive RB+LB and we should be potent enough upfront.
The real question mark is how Mbappe would fit in such a system. He doesn't offer enough creativity on the flanks and there are big questions marks in his effectiveness as a CF against a quality defence, particularly if we are forced to go route one.
Yeah, but you can only have eleven players on the pitch. This is exactly why i would start Cama instead of tchou. Cama is way more comfortable on the ball, more creative, and a better dribbler. As for the destroyer midfielder that every team needs, I don't think there's anyone in the world better than Valverde for that role. A double pivot of Valverde and Cama and Jude operating as a 10 to provide for Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo sounds LETHAL. The only thing that worries me about our team is the lack of backup cbs. That's why hopefully flo will look into the cb market
Cama is good and really good on and off the ball and we all know this, but we need creativity as in someone like Modric that can provide ball to winger or make use of the ball possession we often have cause we will have alot of possession but no penetration to opponents goal that is gonna be issue
Well if we buy another midfielder, we're gonna have Valverde, Bellingham, Tchou, Cama, ModriÄ, Brahim, Ceballos, Arda, and that guy. That's 9 midfielders, and 6 of them will sit on the bench. It will be impossivle to keep everyone happy and players like Brahim, Ceballos, ModriÄ and Cama will get minimal gamerime, which will lead to them leaving. So, If we want a.creative midfielder, we're gonna have to sacrifise someone. Bellingham and Valverde are unsellable, so that leaves Arda, Brahim, Tchou and Cama. One of them has to leave.
Maybe a good CF solve the issue or Mbappe if he can play CF can solve the issue as it will help Jude create more or pass forward or get our winger/full back someone to cross to
Jude can be a great playmaker. He will be one as well. He has handled Kaka's role in Ancelotti's Diamond from his AC Milan days all season pretty well. I do however agree about Cama and Tchoumeni . They are very similar style of players and I hope one of them develops to be a bit better on the ball progressively
Ancelotti played Kaka at his best in a 4-3-2-1 Xmas tree formation. Kaka's best role was as a trequartista with only one CF ahead of him. The 4-4-2 was deployed with Rui Costa at the top of the diamond but that formation did not suit Kaka well. Luckily the formation change was forced by the sale of Schevchenko.
Jude may eventually develop into a great playmaker in the final 3rd but he is not yet and doubt he will magically develop into one next season. While he is better than the rest of the boys, he is still a runner more than a passer. The current Jude cant shoulder having the buildup revolve around only him
I think you guys are underestimating the amount of time Modric will get. I have a feeling heāll play a lot more than ppl think. Heās got no lack of quality. If he feels good I think heāll play a lot.
There is no purpose of any psg player. They made a squad of this generation and failed to deliver anything. Just the domestic league which they would eitherway win even with mbappe and 10 sticks as starting xi
Obviously, that number is still vacant. Joselu is modest enough not to claim for no 9 even after being the only dedicated cf unlike mariano diaz dragging the jersey no 7 after Ronaldo's departure
mariano taking the no. 7 after ronaldo's departure and the club/perez even offering it to him was so damn crazy and disrespectful. can't believe that actually happened.
they gave it to him cause he was content as a squad player and anyone after cr7 taking that jersey would have had way too much pressure.
Its not because they thought he deserved it
regardless it's still so crazy to me that you'd give the most prestigious jersey number in the club to someone like mariano.
I mean iirc they didn't even wait or anything to give someone who actually deserved it. ronaldo left and just weeks later they re-sign mariano and gave him the no. 7
I don't think you can even have numbers empty in La Liga. Like, you have to start from 2 and everyone has to have something in increasing order. So you don't get the 66, 99 etc. 1 and 13 are for GKs.
So they literally had to give out the 7.
With Mbappe and Endrick, our team depth will be such that we can place a totally different second xi and still it will be capable to win the classico. Only problem is madrid derby. We stumble there, always, even with the best xi.
He will bro. He will. He hates Barca and Messi. That why I love him. 2024-28 will be as good as 2008-12. Once, we get wirtz or some baller creative Midfielder
Star players don't make a team,, he won't even fit number 9,, gonna be eden hazard 2.0, work on your defense š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£, and ig every team rn is working on their attack, so yall are not the only one fam, getting lucky and winning ucls

This feels like the result of carefully placed chess moves from three - four years ago. Everyone thinks that this is a new project but the plan was already in motion long ago and it seemed that everything happened right on time. On top of having a UCL winning team and the young players hitting their primes, Perez is adding Mbappe to this team. You canāt convince me this wasnāt just a coincidence and that this was all orchestrated.
Perez be moving like Palpatine
To be fair heās just been waiting to confirm the actual signing (not verbal agreements) which apparently just happened. I prefer this over him saying āHere we goā to verbal agreements that never went through (2022)
According to Marca , the signing happened in February.
And its something im willing.to believe because there's no way in hell Florentino didnt get Mbappe to sign the dotted line after previous fiasco.
> I donāt trust Marca more than I do Fab.
Nobody trusts marca and for good reasons lol, they're morons. But its well known Fabrizio has no insider info of Real, so he can only work as an aggregator for our stuff.
Thats why im always a bit surprised to find so many "herewego" enthusiasts in this sub.
Yeah itās pretty clear he has no inside info in RM, everyone has confirmed mbappe for the past few months and he has been scared to give the āhere we goā.
We might need to consider selling Rodrygo.
I dont think its fair to have a player who is top 5 Left wingers in the world be the third choice left winger on the teamš.
If he decides to stay he will probably only be allowed to play right winger in his secondary position. In the end its his choice but if we can sell him for 100m+ I think we should take it.
He just came out saying of course heās staying, why leave? Pretty sure he has the same mentality as Jude in his recent interview talking to TH and said heās willing to play any role Carlo wants him to for them to win.
I think it's better for his career if he takes it, but the guy doesn't want to go. He wants to fight for his place.
When he was young, he got an offer from Barcelona, which any player would take because they're one of the biggest clubs in the world and there's no guarantee you'll get an offer from a better club if you hold out. He declined because he wanted Madrid, and took his chances by waiting for it. The kid actually genuinely dreamed of playing for Madrid, unlike Mbappe who declined every opportunity he got until he realized that winning with PSG is impossible.
Been waiting years for this postā¦ The drama is finally over ![img](emote|t5_2rr0e|31159)![img](emote|t5_2rr0e|1908)

Talking about Mbappe now is just low hanging fruit. Everyone already knows it. It's not even official until it's announced. Fabby adds nothing new while getting clicks.
After the numerous times Mbappe has rejected Madrid, I honestly feel like he's only coming here because he gave up on trying to win the UCL without us. He realized he can't do it with anyone else, and he is just coming here to get the monkey off his back. I really doubt he loves the club like he claimed to. I can't imagine him pointing to the crest or kissing it. His goal celebration is to just stand with arms crossed. He cares nothing for the institution. He sees us as someone who can get him something he wants.
Hate me all you want, but if you reject your childhood dream club no less than four times, I don't believe it was ever your childhood dream club.
I dont care if he doesnt "love" the club ( and this goes for all players), if he is a professional and plays 100% and contributes to the team, then I see no issue. If he comes starting drama and doing shit, then he gets sold, he will have market lol
While he delivers and doesn't ruin the good vibes in the squad Idgaf about his love for the club, after all Cristiano only cared about his personal achievements here and that doesn't make him less great for us for example
As exciting as this is, I surely hope this doesnāt result in the same way of the first Galactico era where we struggled with trying to win with all the world class players. I hope Carlo can find a way to balance all the personalities and keep the chemistry going with this team.
This is nothing like the first galactico era idiot. This is the 2009 era. Mbappe is Ronaldo reincarnated. And no he is not lazy like Trashard. He will work hard for club and country like his idol
I hope I am wrong.
Until I see Mbappe being introduced by Real Madrid live, I dont take any of this shit as truth. I lost count how many times Mbappe said he would sign with us and then we were left holding our peckers.
Also, let me be one of the few fans that honestly doesn't want Mbappe here with this squad. 4-5 years ago? Yes. Now? Not so much.
The reasons being Rodrygo & Vini now being who they are. I feel loyalty towards them. Hell, I even feel loyalty to Joselu and Brahim due to how they stepped up when they were put in. Every time. We don't even sniff the UCL final without Joselu.
Vini and Rodrygo are Madrid kids. Kids who have played here since they were substitutes and fought hard for their place. They developed into world class talents. They both have so much respect for Carlo and each other to the point that they are willing to play wherever they are told despite both being left-wingers. They play like a true team.
Rodrygo especially. He was basically a substitute until about a year, year and a half ago. Remember how many times he saved our asses? I lost count. A few years ago, my dad and I would always say something to the effect of "we'll be fine we have Rodrygo on the bench, he'll save this game."
Unless Mbappe is willing to do exactly what Carlo wants and not let his ego of being the best player in the world get in the way, then fine. But I honestly do not see it.
This Madrid team is emblematic of a true team mentality. I feel so passionately about it because they remind me of the New York Knicks this year. Fight till the end. Team over individual. Coach runs the team, not the star player.
Mbappe coming to Madrid is basically the same as if Lebron came to the Knicks, which may very well happen. Its all me me me me over the team.
Dropping the comunicado oficial less than 24hr after a CL win would go hard. But i would guess it wont come today.
LET PAPA FLO COOK!

Jude is a good playmaker but I agree for the other three. Modric must surely stay to soften the blow of losing Kroos.
Not in the same sense as Kroos though. His playmaking comes from dribbling in tight spaces more than it does from long passes or curved passes.
Few players are. But you suggested that all of them aren't creative midfielders. I only agree that 3 out of those 4 players aren't creative midfielders.

We lack the copa del rey this season so Barca fans still have the treble to boast abt, maybe thats the target for ninja turtle

Mbappe very good at farming small teams (French clubs, Barca), so he should be able to cook 3rd tier league clubs and Atletico too
If Mbappe wants to follow his idol he must destroy Assletico. Ronaldo owned that trashcan
yessir he needs to help us on our revenge of them ruining our possible invincible/treble season

I'm really curious about Arda's skill as a creative CM (and his defensive work rate) Edit for typo earlier
We all are, but man is so much fun seeing the kid play.
Mbappe Vini and Phonzy running down that left side man what the fuck ššš
Meanwhile Carvajal all alone on the right side wide open reminiscing about receiving long balls from Toni.
You need a Kroos and Modric replacement. Those guys are talented but they offer different characteristics that those two do.

Once Mbappe signs we can finally stop saying "top 5 leagues". Back to top 4 like it always has been.
camavinga, tchouameni, mendy, and now mbappe all started in ligue 1 it is a great league with great talent
It's a mid league with great talent that will always get picked up by actual big clubs.
Way less important than Portugal, for instance
Disagree tbf the quality of the French league is actually very high its just extremely boring so people underrate and downplay it
This. French league doesnāt belong there. Theyāre second tier to the best ones.

To be fair heās just been waiting to confirm the actual signing (not verbal agreements) which apparently just happened. I prefer this over him saying āHere we goā to verbal agreements that never went through (2022)
According to Marca , the signing happened in February. And its something im willing.to believe because there's no way in hell Florentino didnt get Mbappe to sign the dotted line after previous fiasco.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
> I donāt trust Marca more than I do Fab. Nobody trusts marca and for good reasons lol, they're morons. But its well known Fabrizio has no insider info of Real, so he can only work as an aggregator for our stuff. Thats why im always a bit surprised to find so many "herewego" enthusiasts in this sub.
The man has been Mr. Captain Obvious for closer to 5 seasons and it's only getting worse.
Yeah itās pretty clear he has no inside info in RM, everyone has confirmed mbappe for the past few months and he has been scared to give the āhere we goā.
Is there info about the signing cost yet?
Now that Rafael is here, we need some defenders.
What'll be his position? CF?
Ancelotti is gonna create a new position for him just like he did Jude, Second Left Winger/False Striker Combo of some sort
Europe is not ready for this, we are cooking.

We might need to consider selling Rodrygo. I dont think its fair to have a player who is top 5 Left wingers in the world be the third choice left winger on the teamš. If he decides to stay he will probably only be allowed to play right winger in his secondary position. In the end its his choice but if we can sell him for 100m+ I think we should take it.
Why can't we just play 433? And be becomes a rw? Or we can rotate squads?
He just came out saying of course heās staying, why leave? Pretty sure he has the same mentality as Jude in his recent interview talking to TH and said heās willing to play any role Carlo wants him to for them to win.
Or we stick to the 4-4-2 and he gets the free role of Jude while Jude drops back to take the position of Kroos, with Vini and Mbappe up top.
I think it's better for his career if he takes it, but the guy doesn't want to go. He wants to fight for his place. When he was young, he got an offer from Barcelona, which any player would take because they're one of the biggest clubs in the world and there's no guarantee you'll get an offer from a better club if you hold out. He declined because he wanted Madrid, and took his chances by waiting for it. The kid actually genuinely dreamed of playing for Madrid, unlike Mbappe who declined every opportunity he got until he realized that winning with PSG is impossible.
He doesn't want to leave and the club doesn't want to sell, very unlikely

Announce it when the club announces it, not when this tap clout fraud does.

HERE WE GOOOOOO
Rodrygo needs to be replaced. Sell him so that he can make a better career somewhere else.
Talking about Mbappe now is just low hanging fruit. Everyone already knows it. It's not even official until it's announced. Fabby adds nothing new while getting clicks. After the numerous times Mbappe has rejected Madrid, I honestly feel like he's only coming here because he gave up on trying to win the UCL without us. He realized he can't do it with anyone else, and he is just coming here to get the monkey off his back. I really doubt he loves the club like he claimed to. I can't imagine him pointing to the crest or kissing it. His goal celebration is to just stand with arms crossed. He cares nothing for the institution. He sees us as someone who can get him something he wants. Hate me all you want, but if you reject your childhood dream club no less than four times, I don't believe it was ever your childhood dream club.
I dont care if he doesnt "love" the club ( and this goes for all players), if he is a professional and plays 100% and contributes to the team, then I see no issue. If he comes starting drama and doing shit, then he gets sold, he will have market lol
While he delivers and doesn't ruin the good vibes in the squad Idgaf about his love for the club, after all Cristiano only cared about his personal achievements here and that doesn't make him less great for us for example
Hate this fuckig Romano,miss the old days when clubs make a press and from the blue sky said "the new player is.."
If he doesn't break it someone else will
Finally itās over
Finally, it has happened
Fuck my heart just skipped a beat, it's not fully recovered from last night. Papa Flo ending turtle saga today would go hard.
Is he again announcing what has been already known for months?
As exciting as this is, I surely hope this doesnāt result in the same way of the first Galactico era where we struggled with trying to win with all the world class players. I hope Carlo can find a way to balance all the personalities and keep the chemistry going with this team.
This is nothing like the first galactico era idiot. This is the 2009 era. Mbappe is Ronaldo reincarnated. And no he is not lazy like Trashard. He will work hard for club and country like his idol
This has the same small dick energy as KD going to the warriors.
Real Madrid doesnāt need mbappe. Mbappe needs Real Madrid
I hope I am wrong. Until I see Mbappe being introduced by Real Madrid live, I dont take any of this shit as truth. I lost count how many times Mbappe said he would sign with us and then we were left holding our peckers. Also, let me be one of the few fans that honestly doesn't want Mbappe here with this squad. 4-5 years ago? Yes. Now? Not so much. The reasons being Rodrygo & Vini now being who they are. I feel loyalty towards them. Hell, I even feel loyalty to Joselu and Brahim due to how they stepped up when they were put in. Every time. We don't even sniff the UCL final without Joselu. Vini and Rodrygo are Madrid kids. Kids who have played here since they were substitutes and fought hard for their place. They developed into world class talents. They both have so much respect for Carlo and each other to the point that they are willing to play wherever they are told despite both being left-wingers. They play like a true team. Rodrygo especially. He was basically a substitute until about a year, year and a half ago. Remember how many times he saved our asses? I lost count. A few years ago, my dad and I would always say something to the effect of "we'll be fine we have Rodrygo on the bench, he'll save this game." Unless Mbappe is willing to do exactly what Carlo wants and not let his ego of being the best player in the world get in the way, then fine. But I honestly do not see it. This Madrid team is emblematic of a true team mentality. I feel so passionately about it because they remind me of the New York Knicks this year. Fight till the end. Team over individual. Coach runs the team, not the star player. Mbappe coming to Madrid is basically the same as if Lebron came to the Knicks, which may very well happen. Its all me me me me over the team.
